There is such a lot of disparity in reporting news as well as the statements coming from the police. We saw in Sushant Singh Rajput’s case how quick the cops were to declare it as suicide. Yesterday, former CBI director Ashwani Kumar was found hanging at his residence and he had left a suicide note. He was 69. The Himachal Pradesh police suspect that he died by suicide and have not issued a formal statement.
Kumar became the Himachal Pradesh police chief in August 2006, he became the first police officer from the state to become the director of CBI in 2008. He was in charge of the central agency while it investigated the infamous Aarushi Talwar murder case. He had replaced Vijay Shanker as the CBI director. The team, led by Kumar, had contradicted the findings of the first, which ruled out the parents’ involvement. The second team said the parents killed Aarushi after finding her with Hemraj. The parents were given a life sentence by a CBI court in 2013 but acquitted by the Allahabad High Court in 2017. Kumar retired from the post of CBI director in November 2010. He then served as the governor of Nagaland from March 2013 to July 2014.
